Mangar Elk Floor Lift

With a maximum user weight of 450kg (70 stone) the Elk can lift people of any size, weight and age and is particularly useful for lifting very large and bariatric people, minimising the risks associated with moving and handling for both the carer and client. If someone falls over they can shuffle on to the cushion, or be rolled on from the recovery position and assisted to sit upright.

The ELK is inflated at the touch of a button. There are 4 buttons on the hand control which are pressed in order to inflate each section of the cushion. Each button inflates the cushion a little higher. Most times only 3 buttons are required to inflate the cushion to a suitable height. The 4th button may be required for taller persons or persons with very limited mobility. Once the cushion has inflated to a suitable height and someone is supporting the individual from behind, the person is ready to stand from their seated position. Once the lift is complete, the ELK can be deflated, folded up and stored away tidily.
